Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:

    “They circumcised women, little girls, in Jesus’s time. Did he know? Did the subject anger or embarrass him? Did the early church erase the record? Jesus himself was circumcised; perhaps he thought only the cutting done to him was done to women, and therefore, since he survived, it was all right.”
    —Alice Walker (b. 1944)

    “And for 180 years almost nothing.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
